Barbecues And Mount Views

Situated on the third floor of the recently revamped Mount Central Apartments, this superb low-rise condo has the port, Mauao and the distant Kaimais in line of sight from a big west facing lounge and balcony. Close enough to the centre of town and yet positioned on the fringes for peace and quiet, the access to on-site facilities will boost your healthy lifestyle goals. For first home buyers this is an excellent step up to join the ranks of proud homeowners, and for investors and holidaymakers who have been scouting a vacation base with scope to refurbish, this investment would not be wasted.

A restful neutral interior embraces open plan living and dining areas where spaces for entertaining the crowd incorporate the large balcony via double glazed stackable sliders. The kitchen sports banks of chocolate toned cabinetry with huge island bench - serviceable and spacious with options to refurbish if desired. A substantial heat pump will keep things warm and cozy but with afternoon sun and good insulation, cranking it up is optional. The same cannot be said for the barbecue - you'll be keen to have that doing duty all year round. Louvred sliders are a boon for privacy, noise baffling and solar control in summer in the master bedroom where glazed doors also stack back for ventilation. An ensuite has tiled flooring and modern fittings as does the second bathroom serving bedroom two. The hideaway laundry comes with the appliances while a large hot water cylinder cupboard has storage shelves.

Two carparks in the basement get backup from lockup storage and all access is secure swipe tag for peace of mind. The well managed Body Corporate keep the amenities shipshape - an outdoor swimming pool, sauna, spa and gymnasium. Mixture cafe and Elspeth Bakery are both seconds from the building and nearby Blake Park is a great spot for a picnic. Walk to the beach in minutes or stroll into town for boutique shopping, excellent restaurants, cafes and bars.
